A study was conducted to evaluate the effect of yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae and algae Chlorella vulgaris on the production of rotifer Brachionus calyciflorus. The Brachionus calyciflorus were cultured using four different types of diets: fresh Chlorella vulgaris (T1), yeast with fresh Chlorella vulgaris (T2), powder Chlorella vulgaris with fresh Chlorella vulgaris (T3) and yeast with powder ...

The objective of this study was to investigate the modulatory effect of Chlorella vulgaris on cultured fibroblast cells derived from young and old aged individuals focusing on DNA damage, telomere length and telomerase activity. Dose-response test of the algal extract on cells in both age groups revealed that optimum viability was observed at a concentration of 50 microg/ml. Results obtained sh...

As significant differences in cellular physiology, metabolic potential and genetics occur among strains with morphological similarity, the screening of appropriate microalgae species for effective CO2 fixation and biodiesel production is extremely critical. In this study, ten strains of Chlorella were cultivated in municipal wastewater influent (MWI) and their tolerance for MWI, CO2 fixation ef...

the aim of this study was to evaluate the ability of microalgae spirulina platensis and chlorella vulgaris to remove nitrate and phosphate in aqueous solutions. spirulina platensis and chlorella vulgar is microalgae was collected in 1000 ml of municipal water and kno3, k2hpo4 was added as sources of nitrate and phosphate in three different concentrations (0.25, 0.35 and 0.45g/l). during the gro...

The physiological and biochemical responses of two green algae Ankistrodesmus falcatus and Chlorella vulgaris to copper sulphate were investigated. In this experiment both Ankistrodesmus and Chlorella cultures were treated with copper sulphate concentrations ranging from 0. 5 to 250 μM. The influence of copper on growth and metabolism was determined. Ankistrodesmus grown at 250 μM copper sulpha...

Expansion of urban populations, increased coverage of domestic water supply and sewerage give rise to greater quantities of municipal wastewater. With the current emphasis on environmental health and water pollution issues, there is an increasing discharge of waste water in developing countries. Present technologies in developing countries for treating waste water are not sufficient and cost ef...

In this study, five Chlorella species (Chlorella vulgaris, Chlorella minutissima, Chlorella pyrenoidosa, Chlorella sp.1 and Chlorella sp.2) were grown in various nutrient medium including BG-11, BBM, Fog's medium and M4N medium for the evolution of biomass and lipid production potential. Among the tested medium, BG-11 was found most economical and efficient medium for all Chlorella species. To ...
